Comments	Excellent operation with corresponding staff and facilities (inclusive for dive boats and equipment available for rental); use of steel 120 cylinders highly is appreciated; two-tank morning dives with early-AM boat pick-up at Villa Aldora pier and ca. one-hour surface interval at Palancar Beach, first dive typically 80-90ft range (e.g., Palancar Cuevones or Ladrillos) with second dive ca. 50ft (e.g., La Francesa or San Francisco Wall), all diving typically mild-moderate drift conditions; dove with 16yo son, who completed his OW certifying dives with Aldora Divers this trip (special thanks to certifying Instructor Adrienne); special thanks also to Divemasters Mario and Rich for expert guidance and assistance (I am visually impaired); strongly recommended this company and eponymous Villa (special thanks to Aldora Divers manager/administrator, Jorge as well Aldora Villa manager/administrator, Matt); for dining on the island, strongly recommend El Moro restaurant (Avenida 75bisN; cash-only).
